(Excerpts from her conversation with a youth group, which is being rehabilitated with Homa Therapy.)

"I took drugs, liquor, tobacco, everything. The rehabilitation experience for me was very difficult; freeing myself from all these things. I recommend you to value Homa Therapy in this process, because it really helps, it really takes away the anxiety. It helps to keep focused on what is good for you. It helps to remove those things that we do not want and helps us to attract the things we need."

"I came to know Homa Therapy between 2003 and 2004. I practiced it for a month. I noticed that I got filled with peace and tranquility. Before, I was a very angry and bitter person. If someone said something to me I would react badly. I was taking Marijuana."

"I am 33 years old. I have been practicing Homa Therapy for 6 months on a farm called "Union". The changes I have experienced in my person are many. In the physical aspect I observed that my fingernails are stronger, my hair was always split and now it is like silk, my skin is being healed of acne and the scent of my skin has changed, now it smells like incense, it smells fresh. I bathe every day with Agnihotra ash water and take every day Agnihotra ash."

"I have been practicing Agnihotra and Homa Therapy since starting with my first fire in December 2003. Things were a disaster at that time and I lost everything including almost my own life to a drug overdose. In order to get me on the plane to Peru to undergo the Homa Therapy Drug De-Addiction Program, my family created a pretext that I should please go and document this Vedic method of drug deaddiction."

"I am 47 years old and I have been into drugs and alcohol for more than 22 years, maybe even more than half of my life. I grew up in a marginal area of Guayaquil and I started taking drugs at a very early age. When I was 25 years old, I started my artistic activities, but I also started drinking alcohol. I managed to stop taking drugs 8 years ago, but I could not stop the drinking. Nobody in my family used to believe in me. They looked for me in the "Extra" newspaper, where they picture the people who have died, like in accidents, prisoners, etc. When I disappeared, they would check with the police, the highway patrol, the morgue, etc. Those were the places where my mother and brothers searched for me and sometimes they found me there."

"Hernan was run over brutally by a van on the highway and thrown far from the road. This accident happened due to his drug addiction. After having spent l8 days in the hospital, unconscious without remembering his name and without being able to speak, he was rescued by his parents and taken to their home."
